We are THRILLED to start hosting the Rug Tufting Workshops of Tuft Birmingham to Red Mountain Makers! 

In this 3-hour workshop, you will learn how to create your own rug, hosted by Andrea creator of Tuft Birmingham! No experience needed – just bring your creativity and get ready to tuft!

You get to upload the image you would like to make! This image will have to be completed in 2.5 hours. There will not be enough time to complete complicated images with small details, so we suggest images with no more than 4-5 colors. Andrea will reach out if she recommends changing the image!

For non-members, this class comes with a FREE MONTH of membership (a $40 value). After completing the class, students are invited to use that free month of membership to return during open hours to work on other projects, meet people, and explore more ways to make!

This class is taught by Andrea Willis of Tuft Birmingham. Check out her work on Instagram and Facebook or shop her work on Etsy!

No prior experience is necessary to participate in our workshop. We welcome participants of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced learners.
